THE CREATOR OF TARZAN

Is there living in the world to-day any writer whose creations are more widely read and followed than those of Edgar Rice Burroughs?

This—TARZAN OF THE APES—is the first of Mr. Burroughs' famous novels to be published in picturized or strip form.

Other TARZAN novels include "The Return of Tarzan," "The Beasts of Tarzan," "The Son of Tarzan," "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar," "Jungle Tales of Tarzan," "Tarzan the Untamed," "Tarzan the Terrible," "Tarzan and the Golden Lion," "Tarzan and the Ant Men," "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle."

More than seven million TARZAN novels have been sold in the United States and Great Britain. They have been published in Braille for the blind, and in 16 different foreign languages—Arabic, Czecho-Slovakian, Danish, Dutch, Hungarian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Icelandic, Roumanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Urdu (Hindustani).

In motion pictures, on the stage, as magazine and newspaper serials and as newspaper strips the TARZAN stories have demonstrated the eager interest of persons of all ages in the adventures of the young English lord who was brought up by the apes.

The author of these fascinating tales has himself had an adventurous career. Born in Chicago in 1875 and educated at Phillips Academy, Andover, and Michigan Military Academy, Mr. Burroughs served for a time with the Seventh United States Cavalry at Fort Grant, Arizona; he became a cowboy and storekeeper in Idaho, a policeman in Salt Lake City, and he went to Oregon as a gold miner. Returning to more humdrum pursuits in the business world, he found an outlet for his adventurous nature in writing "Tarzan of the Apes."
